Here are some of my recent commits and projects.

Challenges authored for Datacurve's ShipD platform, each accepted after automated checks, solver runs and human review; three are included here as examples, with the hidden tests and reference solutions withheld to protect Datacurve's proprietary benchmark material, and each folder records exactly what was removed:

• instagram/libcst : Bind match capture patterns and comprehension walrus targets in scope metadata
• coleifer/peewee : Add ROLLUP, FETCH FIRST and TABLESAMPLE support to the query builder
